I've noticed a real uptick recently in people replying to tweets (not just mine) with simple questions.
"What do you write?" and "When is that out?" and "What is HADESTOWN?"
Friends, I promise, typing your question into Google is just as fast as typing it into Twitter.
Also, you will get an answer faster than you will if you ask me directly.
I'm on book tour. I'm not really answering direct questions right now.
I don't want to seem unfriendly. But please remember that our time is as limited as yours, and that we're not an internet utility.

Just crawled into bed. We've done it. The MIDDLEGAME tour is finished, and tomorrow morning, I fly home.
Thank you so much to everyone who came out, all the stores who hosted me, and everyone who bought, read, and reviewed my weird alchemy book.
You are my Impossible City.

I understand that sometimes our lived experiences mean that we acquire personal subtitles for common phrases. When people say "print is dead," I hear "poor people don't deserve to read." Those personal subtitles may not be grounded in intent or common reality.
As a disabled person who lives in a reasonably remote Seattle suburb and has lived in the literal middle of nowhere, I can understand why "please buy local when you can" might subtitle to "disabled people do not deserve access to books." But I promise, that's not what...
...most people are intentionally saying. Buying local benefits the local economy, and means more money gets to publishers and authors, since local stores don't have the same deep-discount structure as the major online retailers.

#DearMeTenYearsAgo See a doctor. There's something really wrong.
You're going to get everything you want and lose most of what you love.
Seattle is beautiful.
She's not going to stay. But you get nine years, and the last choice she makes will be to come to you.
It's worth it.
Over a year after she goes, you'll still be silently weeping in airports. You have no concept of how big grief can be. It will consume you, body and bones.
It was still worth it.
And people all over the world loved her. No one will say "it's just a cat," because they know she wasn't.

👊The Gloves Are Off 👊

🕵 Attacks on me have officially started (I called it).

*Defensive Stance Taken*

Let's play a game: Who's The Shill?

Below is the back and forth I had with the person that added me to this list. Enjoy🍿☟
First I would like to say thanQ for the compliment. Its an honor to know that my content is powerful enough to be "Social Influencer" status🎖. I will only use that power for good

@Livid2point0 told me everyone is watching me now. I guess it was not an idle threat

🕵I'm Game 💪
Tells me I'm flagged as a "social influencer" but won't give me a real reason why.

(Pay attention to the strategy being used from here on. Like I said before, "Watch their moves")

Ooh, good one! I say "Good one" because I draw these people like they are fruit flies and I am a limp and blackened banana. I'm fairly quiet in real life and some people apparently look at me and see a vacuum.

The first question is, "What do you want?"
Do you actually want to be friends with this person? God knows, you are intimately acquainted with everything they think is wrong in their lives. Is that an interesting person to you? I'm not being coy; you might find their outlook hilarious, you're just tired of the monologue.
Were they once interesting and are going through one of those phases where they are in love with their own misery? If so, you have to decide if breaking them of this habit is worth it. It's going to be unsubtle. Every time they start to talk, you are going to interrupt.

people often ask me for links where they can learn about observability. i often link to @copyconstruct pieces, the honeycomb ebook, my own stuff. but now i have a new favorite, because these slides from @dotpem's talk at @QConSF .. are.. 💣💥. qconsf.com/system/files/p…
it's a rare set of slides that is funny yet informative, that tells a dense story visually without narration. @dotpem covers the origin story, the business case, metrics/logs/traces, sampling, even an intro to @honeycombio .. all without losing the plot. qconsf.com/system/files/p…
it's so freaking gratifying and awesome to see somebody tell the story better than i do. i get way too down in the weeds sometimes. brb sprucing up my own slides with screenshots of nathan's ...

People accusing Frank Oz of homophobia and gay bashing because he didn't write Bert and Ernie as gay back in the 70s is peak fucking Twitter. Jesus Christ.
I mean, seriously, look at this shit
Ok this is a thread now because this has pissed me off beyond all reason.

Two men having a deep friendship does not immediately make them gay.

THAT kind of thinking is a result of Toxic Masculinity.

I got to explain #GayPanic and #UselessLesbian to my pysch today 😂

These are terms I just learned (over the last few months myself) that described succinctly, what the heck is going on with my brain.

To unpack these terms, I'm going to start you with Sappho.

-
“Sweet mother, I cannot weave –
slender Aphrodite has overcome me
with longing for a girl.” –Sappho

To everyone, we've almost all been in this feeling. (i cannot speak for Ace)
Someone we see or meet, and their presence just #dazzles us into #malfunction (however brief)

-
- it's a pretty common #human #feeling. (again, cannot speak for Ace, and that's ok, y'all are lovely :) )

now here's where #GayPanic sets in... we feel the feels...omg. wow.
and our brains go into... IS THIS DANGER????

I'm sorry to say, our panic does start there.
